Artworks 

Are your artworks made up of Editions? 

• ​All of my original artworks are hand-made by myself "Martin Harman". No artwork is exactly the same. Generally I do not make additions, however I do often make artworks that relate to each other wether that is through subject and form, sometimes artworks will be made as part of a series. Please ignore quantity button on shop page as only 1 artwork is available. You are welcome to check out available hand-made artworks on my Shop.

Materials

What Clay do you use?

• I mostly use stoneware as I usually fire to high temperatures. I use this clay as I can achieve some really nice depth of colour, plus its great to work with from a sculptural process.

How do you get those colours on your sculptures?

• The colours used are vitreous slips that I spray onto the suffice of the forms.

How do you create your paintings?

• When it comes to painting I enjoy using materials that are not commonly used in fine art painting. This can be materials like newspaper collage, household paints and acrylic paints.​ I often combine them together to create multi-media art which brings out some unique depth.

Artwork Display

How do I display your Art?

• Free Standing Ceramic sculpture can be placed on items like a coffee table, cabinet/glass cabinet, table, bay window sill.​
• Ceramic Wall Sculptures are ready to hang on the wall.
• Paintings are ready to hang on the wall.
• Please bear in mind if you have children in the space you would want to make sure the art is in a safe space out of reach.
